Berebin made charge in the face of a ter
rible fi-e and was among the first serious
ly and only one fatally injured. he
was first wounded in the abdo-
men which disembow elled him and
laid his intes ines bare upon the
saddle. Knowing that it would soon prove
fatal and desiring to sell hi. life az dearly as
possible he decided to rally his followers and
give combat to the unequal force numbering
eight to ons, and while advancing at the head
OF his followers he met in single combat aud
killed Spanish officer, late commander of

vIGILANTEs VS.. OUTLAWS.
A Desperate Conflict Between the
Desperadoes and Citizens.

LITTLE Rock. Ark Oct %.
The particulars of Thursdays fight on the
North Fork river between the outlaws and
the vlgilantes show that II persons were
killed The leader of the vigilantes was
Robert Henderson, q hslf-breed from the
Creek nation. The outlaws found shelter
behind the trees which line the river, so that
wien the vigilantes csme up they were en-
tlrely at the mercy of two. score of men
Henderson led his men q short distance up
the river where they were as we'll protected as
the outlaws.
The river at this point is only about 100
yards and across this distances, from Thursday
morning to Thursday night, bullets were
singing on their mission of death. In OBJ.
tanning this position the vigilantes lost two
men and five were badly wounded.
Trainer, the outlaw leader, next decided to
attack his enemy in the rear, but in moving
for this position the avengers met them half
way and drove them panic stricken in all di
rections. In endeavoring to rally his men,
Bill Chenee was killed and before the men
could be reached, John Lock Of the robber
gang, was shot off his horse but not killed.
The fight from this on, was continued
across the stream. No sooner was a head,
arm or any part of . bodo visible than q bull
let was seeking to find Judgment therein.
As Thursday night was coming on. Hen
derson called his men for consultation, when
1t was found that out of his force eight men
were killed outright and eight others had re-
ceived severe Injuries.
The force was in this way reduced one-hslf
and it was thought best to remove the wound
ed. go back home and hunt up reinforce
ments. The dead were buried and the
wounded taken away. 1t is thought that
as many of the outlaws were killed as of the
pursuing party.
Henderson says he will collect . hundred
men and wipe the robbers out 1t is believed
Bill Trainer was killed during the fight.
